Oxidative stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In present study, hepatic and plasma oxidative stress-related parameters were measured correlated with clinical histological findings 31 NAFLD patients showing increased body mass index. Liver protein carbonyl content was enhanced by 403% steatosis (n=15) compared control values (n=12), whereas glutathione content, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity ferric reducing ability (FRAP) decreased 57%,...
Late results in 81 patients with achalasia treated a prospective randomised study comparing forceful pneumatic dilatation the Mosher bag and surgical anterior oesophagomyotomy by abdominal route, are reported. There were no deaths from either of treatments. Two (5.6%) had perforation oesophagus after excluded late follow up.

A new classification of patients with Mirizzi syndrome and cholecystobiliary fistula is presented. Type I lesions are those external compression the common bile duct. In type II a present erosion less than one-third circumference III involves up to two-thirds duct in IV there complete destruction total 219 were identified these from 17,395 benign biliary tract diseases undergoing surgery.

In this study the location of lower oesophageal sphincter measured by manometry and squamous columnar junction endoscopy were determined in 109 healthy controls 778 patients with different degrees endoscopic oesophagitis. No significant differences prevalence severity heartburn regurgitation observed when oesophagitis compared but dysphagia was more common severe complicated Barrett9s oesophagus (p < 0.001). This group also showed a male predominance older age other groups. The total...
